Sandia RAP teams lead the hunt for radiation

This most recent release of I-131 supposedly was detected in Jan of this year. Possibly related to this leak in Oct 2016?

Small Radioactive Leak Reported at Norwegian Reactor

Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.Just check the wind pattern data.

How is radioactive Iodine produced? Nuclear material production/explosion? Nuclear power generation material?

Russia or over the pole from Japan? China?

The measurement in Warsaw appears to be an order of magnitude higher than elsewhere.

It is a fission fragment of U-235.

Can also be produced for commercial uses by activation of tellurium.

This is a VERY low level.

The article indicates someone making it for medical use had some escape and so far isn’t admitting it.

Some of this stuff isn’t a big deal and is much more common than admitted, but it’s just that now instruments are incredibly sensitive.

That could be related to Chernobyl.

I-131 is a fission product of both uranium and plutonium chain reactions.

It comes from nuclear weapons testing and from industrial accidents in nuclear power plants (not from safely spent nuclear reactor fuel) when it isn’t being deliberately made in reactors.

8 day half-life. Any early to mid-January seismic events near Poland, Ukraine, or Russia at depths more shallow than 10km?

Special attention to 4.0 to 6.1 magnitude seismic events at shallow depths in those regions in that area.

Could also be from a nuclear ship/sub accident at sea.

Probably from the Russian high-powered, Election-Hack-Reactor that broke down from overuse late last year. They’ve been working on trying to keep it contained since the day after the November election and it now looks like they couldn’t.

Could one of the retired Soviet-era nuclear submarines that was ‘retired’ by simply scuttling it in the arctic sea finally have its reactor containment rust through?

Wasn’t there an explosion at a French nuclear power plant recently?

Yes.

Every last one of us.

Eventually.

Of something...

Next to the Duchy of Grand Fenwick?

Agreed. With an 8 day half-life, it wouldn’t last long.
